Avenue Q

From the opening notes of "It sucks to be Me" through "Everyone's A Little Bit Racist" to Schadenfreude this ain't Sesame Street. It is, however, poiniant, funny as hell and makes you think. As I wrote in an e-mail to the theater teacher, when the decision had yet to be made, it is Art. After all, any show with the wisdom to start out with the tune: "What Do You Do with a B.A. in English?" has GOT to have it RIGHT... ;-)

Another first for me, as this was the first performance after the Tony's, where they snagged Best Musical. Talk about energized. The crowd, the cast. Magic.

It may not be for kid's, but it is all about Life's Lessons.

That life is all about "Purpose", but to get there you have to make some compromises "For Now".

That Purpose is the Quest, and the Journey is as important as the Goal.

Like the song says:

PURPOSE,
IT'S THAT LITTLE FLAME
THAT LIGHTS A FIRE
UNDER YOUR ASS.

Everybody find that penny, Hold On and Have Fun!
